La succursale va fermer. C'est incroyable. On dirait presque un canular. Perte immense pour le patrimoine de Montréal... *** Royal Bank abandons historic 360 St. Jacques building June 23, 2010. 1:57 pm • Section: Metropolitan News The Royal Bank of Canada is closing its historic branch in Old Montreal, in what was once the tallest building in the British Empire and the bank’s head office. The image above, from Google Earth, shows the building (in the middle, foreground) and the skyscrapers that followed it. The bank has more on the history of the Montreal landmark here and here. And check out this city of Montreal history.

Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will Urban waterfronts have historically been the center of activity for many cities. They began as economic, transportation and manufacturing hubs, but as most industries changed their shipping patterns and consolidated port facilities, many industrial waterfronts became obsolete. In Europe, smaller historic ports were easily converted to be reused for leisure activities. However, in North America, where the ports were larger, it was more difficult to convert the waterfronts due to logistical and contamination issues. Over the past 40 years or so, architects and urban planners have started to recognize the redevelopment potential for waterfronts across the United States and Canada, and the impact they can have on the financial and social success of cities. Though cold-climate cities pose a unique challenge for waterfront development, with effective planning waterfront cities with freezing winter months can still take advantage of the spaces year-round. Treasure Island project in San Francisco. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will Many cities in the northeastern United States and Canada are applying “California design principles” – design tactics that allow individuals to spend time outside 365 days a year – to redevelop their waterfronts and make them accessible to the public all year long. At Perkins+Will we have been active in this change, applying lessons learned in San Francisco and the Bay Area to colder cities such as Toronto, Ottawa and Buffalo. Here are four design principles that can help cold-weather cities make the most of their waterfronts: Treasure Island project in San Francisco. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will 1. Planning for winter sun Areas with sun are easily the most well-loved places in any city, but in dark, winter months, they can be especially hard to find. City spaces should find ways to plan for winter sun from the beginning of new development because individuals need, and are drawn to, the warmth that sunlight provides. Maximizing available sun in the winter is key to creating spaces where people love to be. Solar study for Lower Yonge project in Toronto. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will San Francisco is a good example of this. In 1984, San Francisco voters passed Proposition K, a historic “Sunlight Ordinance,” specifically to protect the city’s parks from the shadows of new buildings. When Perkins+Will worked on the Treasure Island project—an urban design project to transform the island into a vibrant new San Francisco neighborhood—we implemented that same design principle. We wanted to ensure on chilly days visitors to the small island, opposite the city on the San Francisco Bay, would have access to the sun. However, many cold-climate cities do not have these same regulations, so when we work on projects outside the Bay Area, like the Lower Yonge project in Toronto, we have to bring with us the sentiment that buildings should be designed to protect access to winter sun in public spaces. Lower Yonge project in Toronto. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will Our Lower Yonge project was the last piece of undeveloped waterfront near Toronto’s downtown area. Before beginning the project, we analyzed not only the existing buildings and transit systems, but also the site’s winter sun patterns. This helped us identify a patch of winter sun in the middle of the site from 10 am to 2 pm on December 21, the shortest day of the year, when the least amount of sun is available. To protect this important asset, we located a public park there—a major open space the site was lacking before—to encourage pickup football or soccer games and winter activity. We then used 3D digital design tools to shape the urban form of this new development ensuring that we would always have that same patch of winter sun. Lower Yonge project in Toronto.

For people to feel comfortable outside during winter months they have to be protected from cold winter winds. Cities can provide that protection with street patterns and structures that break up and block the wind. Chaudière Island project in Ottawa. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will Over one hundred years ago the U.S. Army implemented this design principle at San Francisco’s Presidio. The Army strategically planted more than 300 acres of large trees that helped block the harsh prevailing winds to protect the officers who resided there. When we recognized the brilliance behind this design principle, we carried it over to Treasure Island, where we planted trees and methodically placed buildings to help block the wind. Similarly, we took this California design principle and applied it to Chaudière Island in Ottawa. Solar diagram for Chaudière Island project in Ottawa. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will Like the work we did in Toronto, we surveyed Chaudière Island before we designed anything. In addition to identifying several plazas that receive winter sun, we analyzed the prevailing wind patterns that were acting on the island. To protect those plazas from the harsh winter winds, we designed the streets that led to the plazas so they were oriented away from the prevailing wind. We designed streets that were not straight, but instead meandered to prevent the wind from channeling down the streets. This helped create calm, sunny plazas on the island, even in the harsh months of winter. 3. Breaking up outdoor spaces with comfort stations In freezing winter conditions, people typically only feel comfortable walking outside for about 60 seconds. Providing a small destination for them every minute helps break up the cold and encourages individuals to use the waterfront space in the winter. Crissy Field in San Francisco is a large stretch of public park and beach on the northern side of the city. When the fog rolls in and prevailing winds pick up, the beach can be quite chilly. As a result, the city has created small destinations along the beach to break up the stretch. Wind-protected benches are located every few hundred feet and “warming huts” along the beach provide relief from the elements for visitors while offering a chance to learn more about the area, purchase a cup of coffee and warm themselves. We found this same technique to be successful when planning Treasure Island and implemented it again in our Outer Harbor project with the City of Buffalo. Outer Harbor project in Buffalo. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will The Outer Harbor project area spans a total of 200 acres, which can take people 30 minutes or longer to cross. To break up the space and make it more bearable during the freezing months, we provided some sort of visual or physical destination every minute, like benches, public art and other landscape elements. Every five minutes we designed comfort stations with heaters and restrooms. We used these small destinations as a way to incorporate unique artwork and make the area more exciting. 4. Designing for active winter programming Many cities have outdoor spaces that are perfect for summer recreation, but when it comes to the winter months, those spaces go largely unused. Cities looking to make the most of their waterfronts year-round should plan for winter activities from the beginning. San Francisco has large stretches of beach and paved outdoor areas along its waterfront, which makes it an optimal location for walking, cycling and running. On Treasure Island, we planned for similar open spaces with large recreational fields, shoreline promenades and artificial wetlands. While snow is not a factor in the Bay Area, other cities that have harsh winters can still use their spaces all year if they plan accordingly. Through our work with the Outer Harbor project in Buffalo, we created a space along the city’s waterfront we wanted residents to enjoy year-round. The space has an abundant network of walking and running trails, which were designed with wind protection, comfort stations and winter sun in mind. We looked at the site with an eye for specific hills that could be transformed into sledding hills in the winter, or bike paths that could be used for snowshoeing or dog sledding. Now, the space can be used for skating, ice sculptures and winter festivals and is a popular place in both summer and winter months. "Human Comfort Diagram" for the Outer Harbor project in Buffalo. Image Courtesy of Perkins+Will The most valuable asset that a waterfront city has is the waterfront itself. Waterfronts provide locations of growth and commerce within urban areas. For cities where there was previously no activity around their waterfronts, waterfront redevelopment is a great way to breathe life into areas that were once bustling hubs of activity. Activating cold weather waterfronts for year-round use presents serious challenges; however, urban design and planning offers solutions to these challenges and an opportunity for those cities to establish unique destinations that draw people to their waterfronts all year long.

http://www.lapresse.ca/cinema/201411...a-montreal.php Le petit prince: une production de 80 millions à Montréal Publié le 11 novembre 2014 à 05h00 | Mis à jour à 06h14 MARIO CLOUTIER La Presse La production du film d'animation Le petit prince, actuellement en tournage dans les studios de Mikros Image dans le Vieux-Montréal, bénéficie d'un budget à la hauteur de ses ambitions: 80 millions. Ce projet indépendant réunit des créateurs français, américains et québécois. Le petit prince d'Antoine de Saint-Exupéry n'a rien d'un petit succès. Il s'agit du livre le plus traduit - 200 langues - dans le monde après la Bible. Écrit il y a sept décennies, il est encore lu aujourd'hui, autant à l'école qu'à la maison, en Amérique comme en Allemagne et au Japon. L'adapter au cinéma représente un défi. Orson Welles s'y est cassé les dents il y a une éternité avec Disney. Il y a 10 ans, la maison Onyx Films de Paris a entrepris des pourparlers avec la succession Saint-Exupéry. Résultat, une série télé et un superprojet de 80 millions de dollars canadiens. «On est parmi les plus gros films indépendants du moment. L'idée, c'est de rejoindre un très grand public, ceux qui connaissent le livre ou non», lance le producteur Alexis Vonarb. Ni Paramount ni Sony ne sont derrière ce projet, mais tous les grands distributeurs de la planète prennent part à l'aventure, dont Warner aux États-Unis. Le réalisateur, Mark Osborne, a déjà été nommé deux fois aux Oscars. Son film de 2008, Kung Fu Panda, est l'un des 10 plus grands succès de l'histoire du cinéma d'animation avec des recettes dépassant les 650 millions. «Mais l'important, dès le début, a été de protéger le livre», de souligner le réalisateur de 44 ans, qui a quitté les studios DreamWorks de Steven Spielberg pour venir s'installer à Montréal il y a un an par amour du livre. «C'est ma petite amie, devenue mon épouse, qui m'a fait lire Le petit prince à l'université, dit-il. Je connais son pouvoir.» Si bien qu'il a déjà prévendu le film, en tournée avec le producteur Alexis Vonarb, aux distributeurs internationaux. Montréal «C'est un projet très international, mais le tournage à Montréal est déjà couronné de succès», a ajouté le réalisateur devant les journalistes qui ont pu voir hier, dans les studios de la société Mikros Image, quelques images préliminaires du film qui sortira l'an prochain. «Il y a une qualité de recrutement à Montréal qui est géniale. C'est francophone, mais c'est l'Amérique du Nord tout de même», de renchérir Alexis Vonarb. Autre rareté, le long métrage d'animation fait appel à deux techniques différentes maîtrisées par les équipes montréalaises, soit l'animation 3D par ordinateur et le stop-motion (ou animation image par image) à l'ancienne. Les voix des personnages dans la version anglaise comprennent celles de Jeff Bridges, James Franco, Rachel McAdams, Ricky Gervais et Benicio del Toro. Marion Cotillard, quant à elle, jouera la rose, en anglais et en français. Et le petit prince? C'est le fils du cinéaste, Riley Osborne, qui interprète le personnage aimé des petits et des grands depuis 70 ans. Prochaine étape, la bande-annonce sortira le 17 décembre.

Since 2004 I have used a Kodak Easyshare CX7330 digital camera. It has been a good camera and has given decent results. The only shortcomings are its inability to take decent photos indoors or at night. 3.1 MP and 3x Optical zoom So this weekend I decided to upgrade... I bought a Canon Powershot SD700 IS I don't have it yet but will be picking it up at Best Buy in the next few days.. It was on sale for $390 (reg. $470).. It is the only camera in its class with optical image stabilization, something I thought would be quite important for night and action shots. 6.0 MP and 4x Optical Zoom.

http://www.limalofts.com Le Projet – Héritage du passé C’est en 1918, lors de la grande effervescence industrielle du canal Lachine, qu’est construit le grand entrepôt qui sera aujourd’hui la pierre d’assise du projet Limalofts. Ce bâtiment de grande valeur symbolique, surtout par sa façade principale, est un riche témoignage de l’héritage industriel et ouvrier montréalais. Le nouveau projet résidentiel redonnera un second souffle au bâtiment aujourd’hui abandonné, restaurant et mettant en valeur sa façade historique. Les nouveaux étages supérieurs proposeront dans leur architecture une relecture moderne du style industriel, annonçant leur vocation résidentielle avec subtilité. Grâce à votre logement double hauteur à aire ouverte, votre jardin sur le toit et une vue imprenable sur le centre-ville, les Limalofts vous offriront un environnement à votre image : branché, créatif et urbain.

Avec tout les chantiers présents et ceux passé des dernières année, j'ai pensé que l'on pourrait reprendre de vieilles photos et d'essayer de s'amuser un peu en identifiant quel bâtiment est en construction. Règlement: Photo de bâtiment en construction dans la région de Montréal seulement ( y compris Laval et la Rive-Sud) Bâtiment de plus de 3 étages ( pas de duplex Samcon sur le plateau par exemple) ou infrastructure d'importance . Le bâtiment peut être en construction présentement ou complété. Le premier qui identifie le projet re-poste une photo. Image 1:

Gillette to phase Tiger Woods out of ads New York — Associated Press Published on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009 11:57AM EST Last updated on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009 4:05PM EST New York — Associated Press Published on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009 11:57AM EST Last updated on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2009 4:05PM EST One of Tiger Woods’ major sponsors will phase the world’s most valuable athlete out of its advertisements while he takes time off to repair his personal life. Gillette’s announcement Saturday marks the first major sponsor of the superstar athlete and corporate pitchman to distance itself from Woods. “As Tiger takes a break from the public eye, we will support his desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs,” said Gillette, a division of Procter & Gamble. Other sponsors are mulling their options and trying to gauge the fallout from the man who has become the face of golf, as he drops off the circuit for an unspecified period. AT&T said it is evaluating its relationship with the golfer. Representatives from Accenture won’t say what its plans are regarding Woods, whom the consulting firm has used to personify its claimed attributes of integrity and high performance. “I think you will see the handful or so of companies that he has relationships with doing some real soul searching and making some probably, for them, difficult decisions in the next few days,” said Larry L. Smith, president of the Institute for Crisis Management, in Louisville, Ky. Late Friday, Woods announced an indefinite leave from golf and public life to try to rescue his marriage after a two weeks of intense coverage of his infidelity sullied his carefully cultivated good guy image. The decision and contrite tone of his statement was seen by marketing experts as a smart step to repairing his public image. His previous brief and vague statements on the matter were criticized as insufficient to quell the intense scrutiny and to lessen the damage from more than a handful of women who claim to have had affairs with him. “It’s just like your most beautiful fashion brand is being trashed,” said John Sweeney, director of sports communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. “I don’t expect Tiger to be the gold standard anymore, but he’s not going out of business ... He’s too big and too talented to be fired, but he will have significant declines from what he was.” Woods, 33, spent 13 years burnishing a pristine personal brand. His good looks and multiracial heritage gave him broad appeal. His domination of the game and fist-pumping flair for the dramatic established his tournament appearances as must-see TV. His work ethic is admirable. Marketers were drawn to his image as a clean-cut family man who mourned the death of the father who taught him the game, doted on his mother and married a former Swedish model with whom he has two young children. Woods is the pitchman for brands ranging from AT&T to Accenture to Nike. His array of endorsements helped him become the first sports star to earn $1 billion. Michael Jordan, Woods’ closest contemporary, is a distant second. Jordan has accumulated about $800 million during an NBA career that spanned nearly 20 years, according to Forbes. Nike, which built its $650-million golf business around Woods, said late Friday it supports his decision. Gatorade, a unit of PepsiCo Inc., said previously it supports Woods and said Saturday it has no updated comment. Gillette’s decision includes phasing out Woods from its television and print advertising, and from public appearances and other efforts linking the two entities together, Gillette spokesman Damon Jones said. “This is supporting his desire to step out of the public eye and we’re going to support him by helping him to take a lower profile,” he said. Gillette, which operates from Boston while parent P&G is based in Cincinnati, has had a contract with Woods since 2007. Jones declined to provide further details, including length and value, of the contract. Woods hasn’t been seen in a prime-time television commercial since a Gillette spot on Nov. 29, according to research firm Nielsen Co. Jones said that was because golf is currently off-season, so the company is promoting new products like Gillette Fusion MVP with football and baseball stars instead, because those seasons are more current. As any ads featuring Woods expire, they will not be renewed. Jones said that did not mean the company was severing its ties with Woods. There had been no upcoming scheduled public appearances for Woods, he said. He declined to comment on when the company would resume including Woods in its marketing, and would not say whether that would be linked with the timing of Woods comeback, when and if he decides to resume playing golf.

J'ai passé par la rue Cypress hier et je me suis dis que ça serait une belle place pour une tour. Le rendu est vraiment juste un test de volume.. il n'y a pas de textures, pas de détails, c'est même pas "rendered". J'ai mal placé mon image, je viens de me rendre compte.. elle est un peu courte, donc la tour serait plus haute en réalité. De 10-15%. EDIT: version 2
